The Amusement Park was just how they predicted it. Depressing, empty, and abandoned. except for the birds flying overhead and the small critters crawling around the abandoned park. The parking lot was desolate and the surrounding area was overrun by the shrubbery. Foliage was prominent, life now taking a home inside the dark compound. It had become an oasis in the dead, dry, and dreary outback.

"I don't like this place." Robert said, uncertain of his unfamiliar surroundings. Daisy drove the car into the parking lot, a tumbleweed rushing along the asphalt as they pulled up to the front. Daisy swung the door open to the RV as they made there stop, stepping out onto pavement.

Rob followed out the other end, feeling the cracks beneath his feet. He held a gun in his hand, enjoying the smooth metal that composed the handgun.

"Careful with that. You'll shoot your eye out." Daisy spoke with caution.

"I reckon I'll be fine." Rob assured, cocking the gun back to a satisfying click.

"Coming through." William held the Double-Barrel Shotgun in his grip, jumping from the ledge of the RV. Hannah followed after him.

"We gotta hurry, they'll be here soon." Hannah warned, while Daisy had already spotted a table which contained a bunch of packets with a map attached to it. She delighted herself by grabbing two, and walking over to the hood of the RV. She tossed one to Hannah, who was surprised as she grabbed it.

"A map? This is what I'm talking about." Rob laughed, as he held the pages with Daisy. There were two main segments, the kiddie area, and where the rollercoasters and putting areas are.

"Lets split up. Me and William will get the main area, you guys can get the kiddie area." Hannah announced, shoving the packet into her back pocket.

"Are you serious? Kiddie area?" Rob complained, being disgusted at the fact that he would have to search a stupid kiddie area.

"I said we have to hurry. We don't have time to complain." Hannah gripped onto her wand as William stood behind her.

"Stay safe and be careful. Those jerks are on our tail." Daisy cautioned, but it seemed everyone was well aware and they gave a nod as they walked off to there destinations.

In the main area, rollercoasters touched the sky and it smelled of rotten dirty food, probably from the food stands. Police tape blocked most areas, but Hannah avoided it as she made her way over to a maintenance room.

"Rob was right, I don't like the vibes." William agreed, as Hannh wondered upon a lock that was the only obstacle in there way.

"Well it's the only way to the amulets. Give me your gun." Hannah had already grabbed it and aimed at the door, pushing William back as she fired it. The lock fell off as the sound echoed throughout the compound.

"Thanks for the warning." William said sarcastically as she pulled the handle and they were welcomed into an empty room.

"Search the room for any clues." She reached her hand out, blindly flipping a switch that slowly turned on the lights. It was quite bland, as there was a fridge, a little microphone, a switch, and a closet door.

"The windows been broken." William said as he stepped up to the center of the facility. There were cobwebs everywhere, and glass was shattered against the floor.

"It's probably been trespassed a few times." Hannah acknowledged, as she felt the walls of the building.

"I wonder if this fridge still works." William bent down and crouched beside the fridge, eager to see if the fridge was up and running. He opened the fridge with some struggle, and to his surprise, there were bottles of liquor. They were old of course, but still liquor.
